iwconfig is part of wireless-tools package which is available in the nokia (standard) repository and maemo.org {tools,sdk} repository.

To install this you will need to run (as root):

Code:

apt-get install wireless-tools

It does not work with 2G/3G network because it does not comply with 802.11 wireless protocols. You will however see an interface but it will show up without wireless extensions. If you want to see useful information from your 2G/3G network interface you may want to try using ifconfig instead. From memory I believe 2G/3G network interface is known as phonet0.

Back to the main topic, Agilan can you paste your dmesg output?

N900/ Nokia N900 is not a phone/smartphone! its an internet tablet with phone functionality - so quit assuming its still a phone/smartphone when it isn't!!
